Dramatic Response to Carboplatin Plus Paclitaxel in Pancreatic Mucinous Cystadenocarcinoma with Liver Metastasis

Intern Med. 2021 Apr 5. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.6730-20. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN) of the pancreas is a rare cystic tumor occurring in the pancreatic body and tail in young to middle-aged women that is pathologically characterized by an ovarian-like stroma. Chemotherapy for recurrent/advanced pancreatic MCN has been based on chemotherapy regimens for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, but the prognosis is poor. We herein report a 37-year-old woman with pancreatic mucinous cystadenocarcinoma with liver metastasis that responded dramatically to carboplatin plus paclitaxel therapy (CBDCA + PTX). CBDCA + PTX may be a treatment option for recurrent/advanced pancreatic MCN with an ovarian-like stroma.PMID:33814494 | DOI:10.2169/internalmedicine.6730-20
